In 2010, the Jefferson Scholars Foundation officially opened the doors of its new 32,700 square foot facility comprised of four connected buildings: the Jefferson Fellows Center, the Jan and Rick Kellogg Reading Room, Foundation Hall, and the Foundation’s administrative offices.

The focal point of the Foundation’s facility is the Jefferson Fellows Center. Throughout the day, evening, and often into the early hours of the morning, the Fellows congregate at the Center for personal study, the sharing of ideas, or social activities.

In 2013, the Foundation began an 8,500 square foot interior renovation project, and the Fellows Center now offers new space for study, collaboration, collegiality, and conviviality.
